about me
Who
am I?
Hi, my name is Ross Charles
Fractional CTO. Systems Strategist. Startup Rescuer. Interpreter of chaos.
For over two decades, I’ve helped companies navigate the uncertain space between vision and reality — translating bold ideas into working systems that scale.
At Amazon, I led programs that transformed how the company hires over 800,000 people annually. At Microsoft, I served as virtual CTO to HCA Healthcare, where I guided a $268M cloud transformation and led one of the largest Windows 10 rollouts in the U.S., modernizing infrastructure across 200K+ endpoints and uniting stakeholders across clinical, technical, and executive domains.
